File/Folder Comments

You can leave comments on individual files and folders. Discussing a file over a messenger can easily bury that discussion, but using comments preserves the context and makes it easy to find later. You can also continue a conversation through replies.


Before You Start

  • Required permission: File write permission
  • Administrator setting: Enable file comments must be turned on in Community Space Settings.

File Comments

After selecting a file, click the ⓘ button at the top of the main screen to open the comment panel on the right. Type your comment in the input box and send it.

File comment

  • Reply: Click the ⋮ button to the right of a comment to reply to it.

Folder Comments

After selecting a folder, click the ⓘ button the same way to open the comment panel.

Use this to leave notices, work guidelines, deadline reminders, and similar information for the entire folder. A team member who just joined can see it immediately when opening the folder.

Deleting Comments

  • Click the ⋮ button to the right of a comment, then click 'Delete' to remove it.
  • You can only delete comments you wrote yourself.
  • Administrators can delete any comment.

Good to Know

  • Comments are visible to everyone who has access to that file or folder.
  • We recommend using comments for discussion about the file, and chat for discussion about people.
